Had a floppy drive.
I purchased a 20MB Hard Disk for $250.00 at the time that was a good deal for a hard drive.

Same here. It had no hard disk & no modem, but they cost like over $1500 brand new. I played the TSR Gold Box games on that until i got to Secret of the Silver Blades & I think I needed a hard drive to play that game or something. Anyways, that was so long ago.

My first computer was The Timex Sinclare 2068.

My first X86 PC was a Pacard Bell 286/12 with 1MB of RAM and a 60MB hard drive! It was pretty impressive for it's time.

Well, the OP did say "PC." If we open the door to earlier machines, then I also owned a Tandy Color Computer, a TRS-1.

But my _first_ binary computer was a plastic model with gears and cams that my dad got me in 1967 .
